Rating: 5/5Rock Solid External HDD

Other Thoughts: I have an old Fantom 500GB drive that still works. I have recommended this drive's 2TB version to a family member and that one still works. And i have the 4TB version and that still works. It is just a rock solid unit. Love Fantom drives.

Other Thoughts: This was to be my 4th Fantom hard drive. Of the other 3, one arrived DOA and was replaced. Newegg took FOREVER to pack and ship this one, then after 3-4 days, it developed problems. RMA'd it, the replacement was DOA. Waiting for a refund. Of the 6 Fantom drives I've possessed, 3 were bad, either DOA or wonky within a week. When they work, they're great. The trick seems to be getting one that makes it through the first week.

Rating: 2/5Disappointed

Cons: - Whoever assembled the drive hit it twice. Two of its corners are deformed, which is very unexpected on an expensive new item.- It hums. It's the loudest component I own. Also when it's being used sounds quite a lot.- The plastic base doesn't match the rest of the aluminium case drive.- Its blue light is too bright

Other Thoughts: Nice concept, but it needs love. A bit of sound isolation, less aggressive front light, better base and be CAREFUL to assemble the drive would make it a must have. You expect that when you are paying $100 more than on a WD one.
